[edit-Lx]
New TO: jmyork82 Another new format I would like to try.
In this tournament, the games will focus on the loser instead of the winner. We start out with 16 players broken up randomly into 2 groups of 8 (using
http://www.random.org . First player who goes out.. instead of being eliminated, he/she will pick the map and settings for the next game which will start off right away. Everything else that happens in the previous game will be irrelevant to the tournament. This will continue on with each game.. if a player who has gone out previously goes out again, then he/she is then eliminated and that game will continue until someone goes out who hasn't in a previous game. For example.. Player A goes out in game 3.. he picks the map and settings for game 4. he goes out in game 5, he is eliminated and the game will be down to 7 players. When each group is down to 4 players, they will combine. The format continues until there is 1 player left standing!
HOW IT WORKS: show: format
Pretty much straight forward from the introduction and I expect it to be quick and easy. When the first player goes out of a game (who has gone out for the first time I will make an announcement in game that game will continue at the next stage with that player's choice of map and settings. I will then pm that player asking for his/her choice. Player can chose any map as long as the map fits the amount of players left (like AoR cannot hold if there are 8 players left). The player can pick any settings except for Round Length as that obviously will be casual. The player can even pick a team game and choosing who gets to be on who's team as long as the amount of players are right (8 players cannot play triples, but can play doubles or quads.. 7 players cannot play a team game, etc.). The next stage will start right after I get a pm from the player. I will also code that player on this thread in red meaning that player has gone out first in a stage once.crossed out
SETTINGS OF STANDARD MAP: show: settings
These settings will be used at the start of the tournament with the 2 groups, and then again when the groups combines. If for some reason I cannot get a response from a player through pm on their choice of settings or they don't care, I will use the standard. If they leave out a particular setting, I will based what to use from the standard (ex.. player didn't give me choice of spoils, i will set it to Flate Rate)
